The insane Tomei Cusco time attack WRX will be making its first and only appearance in Western Australia at Auto Salon Perth. Fresh from smashing the long-standing Eastern Creek lap record with Tarzan Yamada behind the wheel, the WRX will be heading over to Perth so that WA fans have the opportunity to see it in the flesh. The Tomei Cusco WRX is one of Japan’s fastest and most famous time attack weapons, so make sure you see it before it returns to Japan!

In the coming weeks the Auto Salon crew will be revealing more of the event’s attractions, so be sure to stay tuned to www.autosalon.com.au

Did you miss the EOMM? There was a great turnout in Sydney, despite the rain. Melbourne had an decent turnout. And for Queensland… you might have to wait a little while, as they haven’t had theirs yet. You can find the pictures here for Sydney and here for Melbourne.

Andrew/FLICK has just uploaded some fantastic bloodcurdling in-car footage of his yellow monster at Superlap. You can check it out here.
